A course introducing students to media art.<\/p>\n
2016-present<\/p>\n
Transmedia is an emerging discipline that encompasses time-based and digital art forms, including art video, computer art, cinema, and art photography. In this program students will work with cameras, audio recorders, physical computing boards, and computer software to learn how to create and manipulate digital art.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Course Description<\/strong> Each day throughout the three week summer session, students will be presented with a new concept and\/or technique to explore. The student will then be mentored around each new process to create images, sound and motion based media. As a class we will convene at the end of each day to discuss work, techniques, problems and solutions.<\/p>\n Students will have hands on experience with digital image acquisition, recording and editing video and sound, and computer programing for interactive media based applications. Learning will be fun, challenging, exciting and will open the student to new possibilities for creating dynamic media art.<\/p>\n Topics addressed during the course will include digital photography, digital video, audio and video editing, stop-animation, slow-motion video, macro photography, programing for audio\/visual interaction, and physical computing.<\/p>\n For the final project students will combine their choice of concepts, techniques and media created throughout the course to construct an interactive project utilizing the visual programing language Puredata (Pd) and the Makey Makey kits.<\/p>\n Course Goals and Objectives<\/strong> Classroom Content<\/strong> We will then apply theory into practice by breaking out into our groups (or individually) to gather material via recoding devices. Back in the lab\/classroom students will work towards the creation\/editing of media work on computers. At the end of each day will we reconvene for discussion and critique of work created. Students will be given an assignment and a reading for the next morning class period.<\/p>\n Required Textbook and Materials<\/strong> Optional Materials<\/strong> (not required but super fun!)

\nWorking with cameras, audio recorders, physical computing boards and computer software, this course introduces students to digital art creation, manipulation and theory.<\/p>\n
\n– Students will come prepared with a willingness for unhindered experimentation and an open-mind to new ideas, concepts and techniques
\n– Students will nurture their abilities to explore the role of digital media in the creation and experience of art and design
\n– Students will learn to demonstrate awareness of concepts of media based art and design.
\n– Students will use of multiple methods for creative processes, collaboration, research and critique.
\n– Students will develop critical skills and use a rich vocabulary of formal and critical terms.
\n– Students will achieve technical competence in video\/audio recording\/editing and media interaction.
\n– Students will complete at least one self-directed, interactive project based upon the student\u2019s experience with, or immersion in a subject of choice.<\/p>\n
\nEach morning we will convene to discuss the assigned reading and your journal entries. Students will then be given a daily assignment coupled with the associated instruction. In addition, specific media artists will be presented in relation to the topic at hand to give students an informed understanding of creative possibilities. Technical, historical and theoretical material will also be covered contributing to a broad base from which students may choose to work.<\/p>\n
